r CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1996 Council Member Kuether asked if the residents on Ash Street know about this pending construction. Mr. Ahrens said they know about the Metropolitan Council interceptor construction. Neighborhood meetings have been held but have not been well attended. Council Member Bergeson noted that Lino Lakes has a non-standard notification policy that requires the City to notify more people by registered mail. Mr. Ahrens said that this project probably would not fall under this policy. However, if the Lino Lakes watermain construction becomes a reality, those residents will be notified under that policy. Mayor Landers asked if the residents along Ash Street could be given a guarantee that they will not be disturbed for a long time. Mr. Ahrens said that he could not make any guarantees for other agencies. Mr. Ahrens said that he will be out in that area notifying residents of the construction and obtaining the temporary easements. Council Member Bergeson moved to approve Resolution No. 96 - 19 and notify the affected property owners by registered mail. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously Resolution No. 96 - 19 can be found at the end of these minutes. Consideration of Resolution No. 96 - 20 Ordering Preparation of Report on Improvement, Otter Lake Road Re -alignment - Mr. Powell explained that to support the development of businesses in the Clearwater Creek Business Development Center, the infrastructure needs of these businesses must be addressed. The area of the Development Center currently being reviewed in detail is the southeast quadrant of the I-35E/Main Street intersection. The City Council has previously authorized preparation of a study reviewing sanitary sewer and watermain service in this area. This study was received by the City Council in December, 1995. Discussions with Anoka County regarding the re- alignment of County Road #84 (Otter Lake Road) have been ongoing. These discussions have now reached the point where more detailed engineering and cost information needs to be prepared in order to review cost-sharing options with Anoka County. This information will also be very useful in evaluating development proposals for this area. Mr. Powell recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 96 - 20 Ordering Preparation of a Report on the Otter Lake Road Re -alignment. Council Member Bergeson asked if a cost estimate has been prepared for this report. Mr. Powell explained that the engineering work is estimated to cost $7,350.00 and about $6,200.00 for the soil borings. Deeper borings will be done in the area of the re- alignment of the roadway because utilities are anticipated to be constructed underneath the roadway. Council Member Bergeson asked how the study will be funded. Mr. Ahrens explained that it will be funded from his budget under Consultant Services. If the improvement is ultimately assessed to the benefiting property owners, these costs will be recouped. Mr. Powell explained that this area has been exempted from the City Charter assessment restrictions and benefiting property owners will be assessed under Chapter PAGE 20
